Am I taking this to heart too much?

[cantshiftthecough]

I have just shown my partner a video that me and my son have spent 3 days making. Its a music video using characters from the sims 2 to play out a story of a my chemical romance song.

Anyway its my sons favourite song and he is extremely proud of the video.

So I showed it to partner and the first thing he said was "the music is shit" I said its more the video I'm showing him as so much work has gone into it so he switched off it and started looking for rocky horror show videos. A bit later on he showed me a video someone had made using sims 2 to a marilyn manson song and I asked "did you watch ours in the end?" and he said "the music was getting on my tits"

I said again the music was just a backing track and the video had taken 3 days to put together so he said "oh right, why chemical gaymance though??"

For fucks sake so he doesnt like the band but was it too much to ask him to watch a video we'd spent a lot of time and effort on??

DS is not his, maybe this explains the lack of interest but I still find it twatish behaviour or am I being too sensitive?

While I can understand that My Chemical Romance aren't to everyone's taste (personally I LOVE them), I do think it's a bit off not to take more interest in something his son has obviously put so much time and effort into.

I used to go out of my way to make my DH's ex nice presents from the kids (painted mugs, canvases etc) and one day she said 'can't you just buy me a proper present, from a shop' - I was gutted for the kids because they'd tried so hard to please her... (though in my case, I think it was because at the time, she couldn't stand the sight of me and hated the fact that I was doing this stuff with her kids, so I'll let her off that one with hindsight!!)

But, the most he could've done is looked at the video and meritted it for the hard work that's gone into it.

No you are not being too sensitive. His behaviour was thoughtless and bloody rude. He expected your attention didn't he? You are your little boy deserve no less.

Sorry, 'you & your little boy deserve no less'. Time for bed when you can't see the keyboard.

Look at other areas of your relationship closely. What's he really like with both of you, particularly your son who is not his?.

From the little you have written about this man he could not give two hoots about either of you. Not a good role model for your son to follow either.

what an arse.

put his rocky horror show videos in the microwave for a few seconds. no noticeable damage but trust me they wont be watchable!

is it on you tube

He's sounds pig ignorant. I hope that was unusual behaviour for him.

(and he is being a wanker btw)

I suppose he could have 'faked' interest.
I personally would have lied and said I had watched it.
I don't know if him being honest is better or worse?

It is on youtube

Unfortunately, not entirely unusual behaviour from him.

Hey, its pretty good!

Bloody hell it's brilliant, how old is your son?

I've got to ask, if this isn't unusual behaviour why on earth are you with him?
